Wisconsin’s basketball team closed out the regular season with a 73-67 overtime victory at Ohio State to earn the No. 4 seed and a double-bye in the Big Ten Tournament. It wasn’t pretty given that the Badgers squandered a 23-point second-half lead, but they improved to 23-9 overall and 14-6 in the league. That’s an impressive bounceback after the disappointment of last season.

Meanwhile, Wisconsin football begins spring practice on March 26 now with four scholarship quarterbacks instead of five. Alex Hornibrook announced his decision to transfer to Florida State over the weekend.

Any word on workout warriors from the winter conditioning period? Namely guys who weren't contributors before that may have turned the corner?

Ethan Happ has been a force as a college player during his career. He has many skills in his tool belt, minus that one big, punch you in the soft stuff ,achilles heel, free throws. I assume that will affect how he is viewed come draft day for the NBA. How much will it effect his draft stock?

After nearly blowing the lead against Ohio State should Badger fans have any confidence going into the B10 tournament? Maryland, MSU and Purdue/Mich is a daunting schedule. With a 4/5 seed seeming likely either way would an early exit allowing a tired looking Happ to rest before the big dance be a bad thing?
